First family car recommendations

[Chanel05]

I have a Nissan Juke now and looking to trade it in. First baby due in September so need something practical for a family of three and I also take my pet away at weekends too so ideally spacious back seat and a spacious boot. Looking to spend around 20k and nothing older than an 18 plate.

Skoda Octavia or Mondeo

I’d look at the Hondas, particularly the HRV as the back seats flip up (split) so you can have someone in the backseat, masses of storage on the other half of the back and still use the boot.
